'''Revenge of the King''' is the seventh and final main game in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', unlocked after completion of [[Milky Way Wishes]]. It is a harder and longer version of [[Spring Breeze]], with many enemies replaced with tougher counterparts. Bosses are also stronger, and [[Kabula]], who was absent from Spring Breeze, is included as well. As a result, the mode has some similarities to the [[Extra Mode|Extra Game]] of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. Completion of this game is required to unlock [[The True Arena]].

==Plot==
King Dedede wants to get revenge on Kirby for the events of [[Spring Breeze]] and [[Gourmet Race]], so he steals the [[Sparkling Star]]s again, musters his forces, fortifies his castle, and sends Kirby a challenge.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/ykwj/games/index.html ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' Japanese official website]</ref> Kirby sets off to defeat him again by traversing the land and besting his minions. He collects the Sparkling Stars back along the way, using them to form the [[Starship]] and battle [[Kabula]] and gain access to the castle.

Once inside, Kirby charges toward the throne room, as King Dedede sends in the last of his minions in a desperate bid to stop the pink menace. As this happens, Dedede is having a running conversation with his closest soldier, [[Bandana Waddle Dee]], who bravely defends his king despite being dismissed. Once Kirby reaches the ring, he battles Dedede, who has [[Masked Dedede|donned a mask and jet hammer]] for the occasion.

Once defeated, King Dedede is knocked out of his castle once more. He and the remainder of his Waddle Dees roam the desert in disgrace, in the knowledge that they simply cannot best Kirby.

==Trivia==
[[File:KSSU The Revenge screenshot outro.png|thumb|right|[[King Dedede]] after his defeat.]]
*Despite this game only appearing in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', the copyright year still reads as 1996-2008 (1996-2009 in the European version).
*The extra mid-bosses added in this mode all come from ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', with the exception of [[Phan Phan]], who comes from ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.
*The mode itself is a parody of [[Revenge of Meta Knight]].
**The dialogue in the last stage, [[The Revenge]], is similar to those in Chapter 7 of Revenge of Meta Knight.
**Kirby is given a [[Hammer]] vs [[Masked Dedede]] like how he's given a [[Sword]] vs [[Meta Knight]].
**The desert King Dedede and the Waddle Dees march through in the ending cutscene is the same desert Kirby and [[Wheelie]] drive through at the end of [[Revenge of Meta Knight]]. The music that plays during this cutscene, known as "[[The King and the Sun]]", is also similar to "[[My Friend and the Sunset]]", Revenge of Meta Knight's ending theme.
***Also, while the depressed king is walking, many [[Waddle Dee]]s are shown (including [[Bandana Waddle Dee]]) walking alongside him out in front of the sunset, as how Kirby rode [[Wheelie]] in a similar fashion.
**Both [[Meta Knight|final]] [[Masked Dedede|bosses]] have a mask, which breaks in half and falls off upon their defeat.
*The name might be a parody on [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Episode_III_Revenge_of_the_Sith Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith].
